Winery Cantine Florio
Marsala, Sicily
Founded in 1833 by Vincenzo Florio, it is the quintessential historic winery of Marsala DOC and one of the symbols of nineteenth-century Sicilian entrepreneurship. Its sea-facing bagli (warehouses) in Marsala hold oak barrels and solera systems used to age Marsala following the traditional method. Among its historic labels is Terre Arse, made from a vineyard that is never irrigated, alongside the Marsala Superiore wines that made the brand famous worldwide. The guided visit crosses the nineteenth-century cellars and bagli, with a tasting of the different types of Marsala the estate produces.
